In My Mailbox (6)

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren to showcase
what books bloggers have received in their mailbox, from the library, or
bought. If you want to participate check out her site here.

No video this week because I'm feeling terrible and have almost no voice, but I had to do IMM because I have an exciting surprise to share.

Iron King by Julie Kagawa (website | goodreads)
I've been hearing all sorts of good things about this series, so I thought I'd better read it. I haven't read many faerie books, so I'm pretty excited about this one.

Prophecy of Sisters by Michelle Zink (website | goodreads)
I've been meaning to pick this one up every time I go to the book store, but somehow it's taken me months to finally buy it. And just the the Iron Fey series, I've been hearing all kinds of good things about this series, so I'm pretty excited to finally have the book in my possession.

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (website | goodreads)
I've already read this one and it was amazing. I believe I did a review of it a while back (check the reviews tab for a link). It was absolutely amazing and I'm dying to read Beautiful Darkness. This was one of the first witch/caster books I'd ever read and I want more.

Ash by Malinda Lo (website | goodreads)
I don't know too much about this one other than it's a retelling of Cinderella. I've heard both good and bad things, so I figured I'd better check it out for myself.

The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern (website | goodreads)
I received an ARC of The Book of Tomorrow, and I'm really excited about this one. It's an adult book, but it has tons of YA cross over appeal. Plus Cecelia Ahern is an excellent writer; you've probably heard of PS I Love You, which she wrote at only 21.

About Me

I recently completede my Master's in Publishing from Portland State University where I studied all things publishing and YA. I've recently rediscovered YA lit and have become obsessed with everything that's going in YA right now. Hopefully one day (likely many, many years from now) I will open my own publishing company devoted to Young Adult and Children's books, but for now I will be reading and writing about YA and whatever else strikes my fancy.
